    Notes: The effects of monovalent and divalent cations on the rheological behavior of Halomonas eurihalina exopolysaccharide (EPS) were studied. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium were added and the relative abilities to increase viscosity were as follows: KCl 〉 NaCl 〉 MgCl2 〉 CaCl2. The highest viscosity value was measured in acidic 10−4 M KCl, in which a gel formed. A loss of sulfate content seemed to correlate with the increase of viscosity. H. eurihalina produced EPS in all growth media. Addition of hydrophobic substrates to culture media produced changes in chemical composition and emulsifying activity of the EPS. Xylene was the most effectively emulsified substance and the EPS produced on tetradecane and on corn oil the most active emulsifier.

    Notes: Abstract  Neotropical tree crops are affected by a combination of biological and human factors that complicate the study of genetic diversity and crop evolution. Genetic diversity and relationships among southern Mexican populations and horticultural collections of Theobroma cacao (chocolate, cocoa, cacao) are examined in light of the agricultural practices of the Maya. Collections of cacao were obtained from the extremes of its geographic range including archeological sites in southern Mexico where cacao was first domesticated. Genetic diversity was assayed by 57 informative random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker loci. A unique sample of the total diversity found in this study exists in the southern Mexican populations. These populations are significantly different from all other cacao with regards to their profile of RAPD bands, including the ‘criollo’ variety, their morphological and geographical group. A population of cacao found in a sinkhole (cenote) in northern Yucatan with genetic affinities to populations in Chiapas suggests the Maya maintained plants far away from their native habitat. This finding concurs with known agroforestry practices of the Maya. Modern efforts to increase germplasm of tropical tree crops such as cacao should carefully examine archeological sites where genetic diversity, either deliberately or by chance, was collected and maintained by ancient cultures.
